Right folks, I think we actually need to sort out a PV party for next year.

I have been a member here since 07 and have yet to meet some of you. I think this website is large enough and that by having a PV party it would solidify our position as one of the UKs top Party Websites.

I Am prepared to organise or help organise a two day event in the southern areas or if someone knows someone with some land and would be prepared to let us have a party there that would be the one.

I don’t know how we’d go about it but i really want this to happen so if you want to pitch in and help then please do.

Obviously we’d do it by the book and be in full cooperation with the council we hold the party in.

I have contacts that can provide security and first aid. We’d need a TEN’s license but i don’t know what else.

Would be great if any rig owners helped as well but if not then i shall look into renting a soundsystem.

We’d have to obviously pay for it ourselves in the form of tickets but try to make it as cheap as possible.

Also try and sort out transport routes as well so if people are coming from far away they’d know where to go, and even maybe run coaches. minibuses from designated spots.

I think from now to next year would be enough time to sort this out so if you’re willing to help then jump aboard and lets get the ball rolling.

think to get a licence you need the layout soughted and health and safty preposal .. or what ever it’s called .. so i think venue and stages (amount of) should be decided first .. but i not helped to organise an event like this so will be more a learning curve. allso i think it should be a privet party for pv members only with invite as we don’t want randoms causing trouble turning up and just wandering in also it will bode well with the people who dish out the licence that we are monitoring who comes to it .. i allso think we should make it for a cause … (probably not be alowed to sell beer there as that’s a whole diferant licence .. so cash can’t be generated for charity from that) mby have food and facepainting ,hair braiding and fun stuff like that ..

Yeah doing it for a charity or even a few charities would be the one. As i have said i am prepared to organise it but doing it with a committee would be better,

A charity inspired event would the better cos it would show that it’s not a money making exercise but a gathering of good people listening to good music and just having a good time.

Beer and alcohol we can sort ourselves, bring your own. It would have to be exclusive to PV members but they can bring whoever as long as they are sound.

As i have said i have an old mate from school who runs a security firm, He has provided security for the V festival and a couple other big events. I should be able to get a good deal from him. We’d need security that way it would show the authorities we are serious about it.

First aid is a must, Try and contact St Johns or someone like that.

See how much portable toilets and a shower would be.

Find out costs and set the ticket prices accordingly.

We can do this, if we all put our minds to it we can pull it off, I am very much up for this.

PV needs an event like this.

you need a book called the purple guide published by health and safety executive (I think its somethign like “risk management at public events” which has all the safety rules in

I think meningitis and a NHS hospital trust would be good charities as it shows us ravers are putting something back into the NHS (other than casualties!)

I have a lot of experience with telecoms and radio systems and logistics for events, was a Civil Servant for 4 years so know how to deal with Whitehall and Councils and would be willing to assist with this. Naturally I would prefer a venue in the East of England, particularly Essex or Suffolk. Not just because I live nearby but I want to show that we can organise a decent and safe event here…

Right well when i thought if planning this event, I actually thought this would go alot smoother if you were on-board GL, I mean you have alot of knowledge on the subject. Plus I’d feel safer if some like you were on board. I haven’t a clue how to go about this. Got a vague idea lol!

Yeah east of England would be good. Whereever we decide to hold it i will plan transport routes and try to make them as hassle free as possible. Also run a minibus service so those without cars will be able to get to the event from designated meeting points,

I’ll have a word with my mate about security and see what he says about quotes and stuff like that.

I’ll have a look at that book as well GL,

I’m well up for this Cliffy and will do my best to help organise.

East of england sounds a good bet ‘cos it’s not too far for either us Northern crew or those that live in the South. I’ll catch a train to wherever tbh.

Minibus sounds a great idea, always baffles me when 20 people drive from the same location each in their own car! Bad for the environment, and it’s nice to not drive and have a pint or two!
